Elton John wakes astronauts on final NASA shuttle trip

Sir Elton John woke up the astronauts on the final NASA space shuttle mission today with a special message.

The Atlantis shuttle started its journey from Kennedy Space Center in Florida last week, with the space shuttle program to end after 30 years later following their return.

"Good morning, Atlantis, this is Elton John," the legendary singer said in a message. "We wish you much success on your mission and a huge thank you to all the men and women at NASA who worked on the shuttle for the last three decades."
